How else can I say this isn't just your average ice cream shop. This is where dreams come true and memories are established. Not only is it directly in front of an incredible beach but the ice cream,shakes EVERYTHING tastes of heaven. I have been coming here every year or every other year when we go camping and it's a treat to stop in and grab my personal fav and obsession purple cow. Vanilla bean isn't a should visit spot.Its a MUST STOP and make memories.30 OUT OF 5 STARS.

Best ice cream in Rhode Island. Fast service, delicious ice cream, milkshakes and waffle cones are amazing.

Icecream was excellent. Girls were so nice. Worth the ride.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Madeline Moore · Jul 2022

the ice cream is delicious. however, their prices are outrageous. $4 for a tiny itty bitty little scoop, and $2 for the next size up which is barely more ice cream. it’s in huge cups too, making the servings look even smaller than they actually are. a $7 root beer float comes with a tiny scoop of ice cream and a half full cup of root beer. disappointed to say the least.

I have been going here to the Vanilla Bean for decades and the experience is always completely amazing. Iced coffee, waffle cones and ice cream. Non stop positive and friendly staff next to a beautiful beach. Honestly, you could not ask for a better experience.
